HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Late one night.. 3 girls couldnt sleep.. stumbled and tumbled upon a pumpkin patch (ok, we really couldnt sleep and the pumpkin ptch was on fai/nic's land haha) dressed as sweet little Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and Glenda the Good Witch. Out of no where the sky turned green and ghosts appeared!!! The girls turned ghoooooooulish and squealed.. TRICK OR TREAT!!

oomg that was weak haha! Honestly my friends and i just decided to wear our costumes and take pictures, I knew i wanted to post a Halloween post on this blog.. so why not! Happy Halloween everyone and be safe on the streets tonight!

My Alice in Wonderland look is disturbingly bloody and i love it! Looks like Alice fell down that rabbit hoel and smashed up her pretty face a little. I bought the costume last Halloween and im not sure its still avaiable, guess one way to find out is to stumble on over to Random!


Isnt that skin incredible? Ms Tuli as always, need i say more? The blood splatter came with my Alice costume and the cute bandaid is from House of Paisly now known as The Cute Institute, i made a trip over to make sure they're still available and they are!! So rush over because they're super darling.

Houndstooth...Check!

I normally don't go for patterns much, but I love these high-waisted houndstooth pants and when matched with this black turtleneck, the look is casual, but elegant. I'm really enjoying the trend towards using prim/sculptie cuffs on shirts and jackets, as it cuts out about five minutes from my dressing time when I don't have to search for bracelets to complete the look. So, to add some sparkle, I used some lovely accessories from Miriel and Lua, as well as the Champagne boots from Bianca Foulon.

I Got the Blues

You know.. i could go on and on and on about the cuteness of this outfit, why i absolutely love it, how i put it together and such. Yes i do love every single piece, but I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Lately I've been feeling girlie and this is the product of that mood.

And now.. even MORE cuteness ;)

Formality

...Maybe not the most inventive of titles for this post, but I plead my yearly autumn sinus infection and beg for mercy. I know at last count sometime last year, I had over 150 formal gowns and their numbers, like rabbits, have seemed to grow exponentially. This one in particular is another from Soraya Shan that I picked up at Glam Expo, but didn't fit in with my color scheme of the prior post. I love this deep turquoise shade and the bodice is simply incredible.

This close-up shows the jewelry and the new Sumi skin from Tuli in more detail and I love the rhinestone eyelashes from Beauty Avatar.

Monochrome Magic

So what happens when i finally decide to organize my incredibly cluttered and messy inventory!?? I find incredible pieces i forgot i bought and NEVER wore. I am not a big fan of system skirts.. my shape already has a nice badonkadonk on it, these skirts just ad about 15lbs and not in the right spots either! This skirt by Mimikiri is just too adorable which is prob why i bought it. I've been a long time fan of Bijou and i have so many different looks form them.. casual fun to this beautifully textured elegant jacket. I tied the look together with gloves, simple accessories and heels... VIOLA!! Monochrome magic .. *pats self on back* I think im ready for a night at the Opera!

It's been 3 days since i started the task of reorganizing and I'm getting cross-eyed and headache and no closer to being organized!

B-B-B-Bad

*Cue George Thorogood music*
I felt like being bad today...or at least looking the part, so I whipped the Boss out of the inventory, polished off the layers of dust (since I haven't ridden in almost a year due to laaaag) and put together a bad-a$$ outfit.

The hat/hair combo is from Exxess and they have it in male and female styles...my hubby loves his and wears it almost exclusively these days. The tank is one of my favorites, comes in a myriad of colors and all three layers with short and long options and is topped with a bandana from :sey, which comes in 5 or 6 patterns/styles and each one menu-driven color change. Ripped jeans, biker boots and full body tattoos completed my look.

Cus I Wanna

Brrrrr.. it's defiantly getting extremely cold tonight. I'm a true blue Californian and i don't do well in any temperature below 60, i put this look together because to me, its the perfect (first date) fall date night look. Sexy, chic, sweet, casual and well.. for some reason it all gets me thinking of relationships.. mainly because winter is coming and i need someone to snuggle with ;) If only i can get the boy on vacation for a snuggle! And before you ask.. yes 2 posts from me with scarves.. i cant help it, i love them!

More Exxess

When I break out of Barbie mode, I love to do it with Exxess, the clothing that is. Not only are the clothes faaabulous, but each outfit comes complete with accessories and shoes/boots, like the Sabbath outfit shown here.

The detailing is just beyond incredible and add to that the new Moon skin from Redgrave and I'm completely in love with this ensemble.

Crisp Fall Day

Crisp fall air, leaves in shades of the sunset fallen on the ground crunching under our feet.... Yea i don't get much of that since i live in California and we have 2 weather... Hot... and not so hot! Lol! I do however love fall and the air just a little bit cleaner and i finally get to wear.. a JACKET! its getting there..except to day was 88 degrees.. go figure, at least i can still dress the part here in SL!




Can i please draw attention to this ring?? Kieran Debevec (a friend of mine from Steady Rock Island RP sim) who just started dabbling in mini prims and fine jewelry sent me some things she was working on for her line ENOUGH. While talking i mentioned i wanted a ring... a big gaudy yellow canary diamond ring. A few days later..this was sent to me (did i mentioned its named after me also!?) and i started to squeal and pretty much haven't taken it off since. Thanks Kieran!! I'm still going to keep bothering you to sell your line!




I gotta gush about this skin! I love Apple May Designs, and recently Apple had a 75L sale on clothing and selected skins.. just for the hell of it. I found this gem and immediately fell in love with it. Its how i wear my makeup RL, liner and a bit of eye shadow, bronze blush and light glossy lips. I feel at home with this makeup and skin. WOOT APPLE MAY!

Mmmm Furr & SL Mini-Rant

As usual, SL has done it again. For the past month or so, I've had a disappearing prim issue. Either prims (worn or rezzed) just randomly disappear on me OR I see the prims in world, I see them in my snapshot preview, but when I go to my image editing software...they aren't in the picture. WTF is up with that???? I've had whole skirts, hair, sometimes half my hair, jewelry, shoes, etc. all not show up in my images and completely ruin a whole set of shots. So, I take a pic, go to my editing software, open it, make sure everything is there and continue on with my shots...only to find out later, they disappeared when I changed poses. They also disappear when I zoom in to get a close-up or even change angles. *siiighs* Just like in the following ensemble...

This fabulous, lushly-textured fur jacket and skirt combination from Earth & Sky Design also has an adorable hat included in the set, which I was wearing, only to have it poof in the actual pictures. Upon further review of the images I ended up with, sans hat, my newest skin from The Obscene, when combined with my shape looks eerily like Paris Hilton...ewww. I adore the skin, especially the shading that creates a soft facial glow, so I guess I'll have to make a new shape to wear with it to avoid the Paris-clone issue.

Empress

What can i say about Nicky Ree that hasn't been said before? INCREDIBLE TEXTURES AND PRIM WORK!!! She is most def my GO TO when it comes to formal wear. When i first saw Tang Empress many month ago, i went literally ape shit and bought the original Gold dress. A few months ago Nicky re-released the Tang Empress in 6 new colors (the Gold is still available) and i just picked up 2 more this past few days during her sale. This dress in red.. is beyond beautiful, the texture work makes me wet.. (year i get fashion orgasms!!) its so real i find myself reach out to touch my screen hoping to feel the rich brocade fabric!



Tang Empress has a most impressive train, the full look with a dress and jacket with beautiful lace arms.



The dress itself without the jacket is incredible, i really do feel like an Empress in it. When i first saw the original Gold Tang Empress, it struck me how wonderfully similar it was to the Empress' dress in Curse of The Gold Flower.. an incredible movie for those who haven't seen it!

Casual Chic

So I was attempting to reorganize my inventory the other night (amazing how it can get out of hand so quickly) and I ran across a block of some Bare Rose stuff that I don't actually remember buying..hmmm. Since there were no pics in the folders, I tried on the first one and I was pleasantly surprised by this jacket/shirt combo called Bellezza. I loved the texturing in the jacket and the rolled-prim sleeves, so I paired it with some linen pants from Skin Flicks and came up with this very classy looking ensemble, perfect for when jeans are too casual and you don't feel like wearing a dress.

Glam in Chocolate and Blue

The word "Expo" is enough to evoke a Pavlovian response out of any true fashionista--eyes sparkling, heart hammering and of course, the drooling. After all the hype, I have to say, I was a bit disappointed in the Glam Expo as a whole. Maybe I'm just becoming jaded from being too saturated with these type events in the past few months, but I associate "Expo" with a chance for designers to shine, bringing out new collections and pieces, not just drag out the same things I've seen hanging in their shops for months. When I think of Glam, its red-carpet-walking, awards ceremony, high fashion...upscale designs, impeccable quality and textures to salivate over. Many of the booths looked as if a 1980s high school prom exploded on their walls or even worse, offerings that were less than stellar in design and quality. I'm a shopaholic, but when I leave an Expo and haven't spent at least $10,000L, something is wrong.

This isn't to say that there weren't a few shining jewels in a sea of blah, as some of my fellow bloggers have highlighted already. Kudos also go out to the organizer(s) for all their hard work because it certainly can't be easy wrangling that many designers and still provide such a low lag expo experience. Now for a few of the treasures I snagged...The four dresses featured here by two different creators are everything that Glam should be and are clearly my favorites, featuring rich textures full of depth and shine, matched with creative flair and excellent quality.

The Palace of Illusions

I recently just finished The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, a story about the Mahabharat from a woman’s view, though not just any woman, but Draupadi. Born in fire with her twin brother to fulfill their father, the King of Panchaal’s thirst for revenge, she alone will change the course of history. I fell in love with this book, with Panchaali’s (Draupadi’s nickname) complicated yet headstrong character, her determination to fulfill what is demanded of her through hardships, marriages, humiliation and the Great War of its time. Towards the end I began to beg Panchaali’s character to, for once, say what is in her heart, don’t bite your tongue despite what you may face and when the truth was there ripped for plucking she didn’t, she chose duty over a love her heart longed for since the day of her swayamvar. So much would have been different if she chose the man who man her heart swell and bangles jingle softly, would she then have brought to reality the war that killed so many and left other lives destroyed?

So what’s the point of this babble and why has this book gotten me so riled up? I honestly can’t say, I almost refuse to let her story finish the way it has, so.. For you Panchaali.. Wedding attire for the one you never had.. to the one you’ve loved all along.. who… through it all, loved you just as much.

Fashion Show Ready!

Since there were a couple of fashion shows I wanted to attend this weekend, I set myself a challenge of trying to come up with a low ARC ensemble. What is ARC you ask? At its most basic, everything you see on your screen like textures, bling, glow, particles, flexi items, prims and even invisible prims, affects your viewer's graphics processing, which, if I understand correctly, affects how fast you and things around you rez and your frame rate. I'm no expert but there's was a Linden explanation that you can see here http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/05/01/who-me-yes-you-couldnt-be-then-who-introducing-avatar-rendering-cost that explains it in more detail and even gives the point figure breakdown of the factors that determine your ARC. To see everyone's ARC, go to Advanced>Rendering>Info Displays>Avatar Rendering Cost. If you don't have the Advanced menu showing use Ctrl+Alt+D or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D. The ARC figures will be floating above each avatar.

That out of the way, on with the outfit. My normal avatar ARC usually runs between 2000-4000...ouch. My goal was to come in under 500, with low prims and still look fabulous. Instead of my usual super-flexi hair, I went with a simple and elegant style from ETD. I was going to wear a skin with hand-drawn eyelashes, but I was just dying to show off the new Meredith skin from Tuli so I splurged a little and added some prim lashes. Sophistication and a touch of glamour is the look I was going for with the no-prim skirt, top which I finished with some low prim, but dainty looking slides from Aphrodite's Creations. I agonized over the jewelry, but finished my look with some single-prim bangles and small pearl earrings. Final figures: ARC=347; Prims=65; Getting everyone else to wear low ARC outfits when attending crowded functions=priceless.

Mobstress

Last night i caught a late night showing of The Godfather, which I've never seen before and really had no interest (blasphemy i hear all the men cry!) its just not my type of movie! I do however, dig pin strip which seems the be the uniform of all Mobsters world wide, (could they possibly shop at the Mobster warehouse?? clothing for the most gangsters of taste) so as my mind wonders while the movie was flickering in front of my face.. i imagine what I'd be like as a Mobstress ( dig that word!) and well... VOILA! this outfit was born. All the jewelry was found at the jewelry expo and if you haven't gone yet.. GO NOW.. the freebies are incredible and I discovered artist I wouldn't have known existed otherwise.

Jewelry Expo

So I finally finished hoarding all my precious purchases from Jewelry Expo and in trying to figure out which to blog found I couldn't decide. So I put together a My Favs collage broken down by either bracelets or necklaces and earrings. I had no idea the amount of talented jewelry designers that were out there that I simply had no idea existed and I can tell I'll be making mass shopping expeditions to their main stores over the coming weeks. On with the pretties...

Agent 99

Its not often you'll catch me wearing 60's inspired fashions...Its just not my thing, but when I saw this cute jacket and hat, it immediately reminded me of one of my childhood heroes--Agent 99 from Get Smart. She was the smart one of the duo, the woman with the plan, saving his bacon, usually with a mighty, if fake-looking, karate chop to the neck of the bad guys.

This Is How I Roll

I just recently watch the True Hollywood Story of Kimora Lee Simmons and I'm completely fascinated with her. She has everything a woman could ever dream of.. an incredible career, money, fashion, family love, as an Asian woman she's an inspiration and an incredible role model for young women of color. I'm completely in love with her style and the Baby Phat line. This look to me is truly the essence of Baby Phat, its urban glam, a young woman who knows what she wants and know how to get it with attitude to match. She's confident enough to rock this tinie bikini but is stylish as hell with her hair and jewelry. This is what i want to evoke in RL and at times do when i sport my Baby Phat clothing. Thank you Kimora!!




I need to draw special attention to this watch here. A gift from The Boy (soooo sweet i know) it's and incredible piece of work almost 250 prims and its color changeable, my eyes are going cross eyed trying to zoom in close enough to catch all the subtle details. Check The Boy's blog for more pics of their watches..since he owns all of them! And YES darling you are obsessed and TY for my watch!

Very few things can bring out a woman's inner seductress like beautiful lingerie, be it silk, satin, leather, lace, rubber or latex (different strokes for different folks, ya know?). Blacklace has it all and Whew! *fans self* its all delicious. As soon as I saw their new products, I snatched a few up and whisked my husband up to the bedroom for some photos and no telling where we could have gone from there if we hadn't been interrupted. Honey...next time, let's leave the IMs off the hook. *winks*

Punk + Goth

Ok, anyone that knows me is probably wondering who that is...I'm so Barbie that the only time I look like that picture is for an event. BUT, I had tp'd into this cute Japanese sim to pick up some accessories (to be blogged later) and when I started wandering the streets, came across this incredible boutique, Susie's. What I saw in the ads looked so cute, in that gothy/punkiness way, that I picked up a few items to blog. I tried them on and the ads weren't misleading, everything I purchased was well-fitted to scale, meaning no huge boots or bracers. Upon closer inspection, the creator's attention to detail was astounding and I especially liked the way the lining of the boots just so happened to match the skirt I chose! There were a couple things missing to make the ensemble complete, so upon inventory digging, I came up with these cute finger gloves and tights from Cachet. Its difficult to really see in the picture, but the tights have a really cute shading at the knee to give them a wrinkled effect.

I Think......

An excerpt from my poem "I Think" ...

I think you are wonderful
I think I’m starting to use words I haven’t in a long time
(again)
I think you’re the one who induces them
I think you give me butterflies
And I forget that I am 28 and feel like I am 13
(again)
When that boy kissed me for the first time
And our braces brushed against each other
And my stomach lurched and
I almost swooned
And threw up and
Fell in love all at the same time
I think you are difficult
And stubborn and funny and witty and incredible
And your mind drives me wild
I cant help but want your scent on my pillow in the morning


Gee... am i feeling romantic?? Quite possibly.

Young Hollywood

I was debating a bit whether or not to blog the Zaara jeans because EVERYONE has blogged it and EVERYONE has it. Rightfully so because they're incredible and i haven't taken them off since i bought them the day they were released. Finally i decided.. since everyone has them, why not post another idea on how to sport them! I went pure young HOLLYWOOD with my look (think Gwen Stefani on a night out) the platinum blond hair pulled away form the face in a funky pompadour type do, faux fur jacket (of course) big funky earrings and bracelets, funky gloves and bright bright shoes. The hipster jeans tie it all in and because this IS Hollywood... I must sport the over sized sunglasses!

I'm in love with this look and damn it I'm ready for a night out!
